Chippewa Apache Boot

How many shoe manufacturers can say that the building where they assemble their boots is officially on the National Register of Historic Places? Our guess is that no one can. Or, rather, no one other than Chippewa Boots. This 116 year old American boot maker based out of Winsconsin has managed to stick around for so long because the quality of their goods – like this Apache Lacer boot – is so good. Made from a tough leather upper and featuring a Vibram Stockbridge outsole, this pair are as handsome as they are sturdy.

This pair of boots made by the 100 year old American company Red Wing Shoes features a leather upper sewn with an old school work-boot inspired moc-toe style. Made with incredible materials, you can expect this pair to last for along time.

A.P.C. Corentin Ankle Boots

For something a little more formal, these Corentin ankle boots are a fantastic grab. made from Portuguese leather, featuring a high ankle, three hole lacing, an a braided Moccasin-style stitching along the instep, they’re subtle, but they stand out from the pack.

Danner Williams Boot

It was hard not ton include a pair of Danner’s hiking boots on this list, but we thought that their Williams boot deserved some shine. While they seem more of a strictly formal style (compared to their usual hiker/work boot offerings), the design of the shoe was actually inspired by old school logging styles of the late 1800s. Made from distressed leather, and featuring Goodyear Welt Construction and Vibram outsole, they’re a truly great pair of American made boots.

Grenson Justin Panelled Boots

These boots made from chestnut leather have a hefty build to them that is perfect for the winter and fall. Featuring D ring eyelets and tough rubberized lugs these UK made lace up boots are a great seasonal pick.

The upper, made from premium calfskin and given an orange leather lining, is welted to the butyl double leather sole with a Goodyear construction.

Helm Lee Low

This boot is a decidedly American take on the popular but hard to pull off European Sam Original style boot. Made from a full grain Tasman York leather and featuring a White Oak Cone Denim inlayed along the ankle, the Lee Low boot fits in perfectly for both formal and casual occasions.

Oakstreet Cap-Toe Lakeshore Boot

American bootmakers Oak Street boast that their Cap-Toe Lakeshore model is good for everything from your morning commute to the cocktail after work. We find it hard to argue with that. Made from French calf leather sourced from Bourbon Tannerie d’Annonay the shoes have an almost warm glow to them that give off a professional and put together vibe. Thanks to their hand built construction, they’re fully recraftable so you can get the them resoled and maintained years down the line.

Common Projects Desert Boots

For those looking for everyday wear comfort, a classic style, and a solid build – we couldn’t recommend these Desert boots enough. Made from a premium Saffiano Leather sourced from Italy and soft crepe soles, they’re ideal for wearing both in and out of the office.

Everyone has duck boots, and everyone has a pair of hiking boots, so if you are trying to stand out from the crowd with a pair of winter leather lace up boots – you may want to consider this pair of Austin Shearling-Lined boots from O’Keefe. With a striking weatherproof pebble grain leather upper fitted with pewter d rings and a padded suede collar, they’re as handsome as they are ready for the colder months.
